Same time every day

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I usually put my phones far from my bed every time I sleep. Something weird happened to me in the past 3 weeks. In the morning when I wake up, I would go and check time on my phone and if its anything before 07h30 I would go back and sleep a bit and check the time again after a while and go back to sleep and so on. Surprisingly for 2 weeks, I would wake up and reach for my phone, and check the time, it will be 06h59 and I would go back to sleep a bit and wake up again and check time, it will be 07h16. This happened every day for the past 2 weeks. It continued happening even when I became aware of it. Sometimes I would even try to prolong checking time in hope that it will have changed. But when I do observe the time, it will be the same times. Very weird.
